Bavardage

Beside the hotel swimming pool
ears flapping towards the patter
I aim to overhear a strain
of something that’s the matter.

That Martha hardly pulls her weight…
and Shelly? Such a bitch.
Dawn A.’s mom’s doing not so great;
Dawn J. broke up with Mitch.

Whatever Trevor did to Jen
gets drowned out by my snoring –
guess knowing no one who’s involved
makes gossip super boring.
